Project Mix I/O - Cubase SX 3 Problem

[Broncko]

Hello folks,

I use Cubase SX3 with an M-Audio ProjectMix I/O firewire audio interface/control surface.

I'm currently trying to record drums at home and so therefore need to record multiple inputs at the same time. the project Mix I/O interface has 8 analog inputs, that all seem to be receiving audio signals fine, the project mix I/O PC control panel also reacts as though it is receiving all 8 signal simultaneously fine.

The problem begins when I try to record these multiple inputs on Cubase. When I add an audio track the only audio inputs available to select are;

M-Audio FW ASIO Stereo In > Left
M-Audio FW ASIO Stereo In > Right

Meaning I can only record a maximum of two tracks at once, which is crap.

Please, please can anybody help? (Apologies if I seem ignorant or have overlooked something elementary)

The only thing I can think of is when I go to 'Device Setup'>'VST Audiobay' within Cubase the only Master ASIO Driver I can select is 'M-Audio FW ASIO'. In the projectmix I/O instruction manual it tells one select 'M-Audio Multichannel', however this is not available?

Mellifluous Regards

hi have you tried going to the device set up - vst connections? go to the add bus and you can add either mono or stereo and how many inputs you would like to specify. God bless hope this would help

I believe ashta hit the nail on the head.

ashta, Vulconizer,

A bundle of gratitude to you nice people, problem solved.
You have ended hours of aimless, frustrated pondering and armed me ready for my drum recording quest.

Big heart felt thanks, I’m transmitting positive vibes and benevolent karma through the electronic cosmos to you and all your peeps.

Peace & Flowers
